Chef Tom grabs a couple recipes out of Steven Raichlen's newest cook book "Project Smoke" and creates a killer combination of tri-tip and horseradish sauce that is to die for.
If you're someone who loves a good burger, but is always looking for ways to kick it up a notch, how about grilled cheese sandwiches for buns? Yeah, let's do this!
Chef Tom walks you through our technique for producing award-winning competition pulled pork. This is the same recipe that gave us a 2nd Place Pork finish in our first ever KCBS competition.
If you're looking for a fun way to spice up your grill life, check out these cheeseburger dogs. They're essentially a cheeseburger morphed into hot dog form. Oh, and they're stuffed with cheese!
Chef Tom breaks down our awesome recipe for Competition Brisket. This technique has been honed over time as we have cooked with barbecue geniuses like Andy Groneman of Smoke on Wheels Competition BBQ and 'BBQ Brian' Misko of the House of Q.
It's not exactly the meatloaf you grew up eating. It's wrapped in bacon, cuddled up to cream cheese and beer battered onion rings and kissed with chipotle ketchup, all before getting a bear hug from a sweet slider bun. I don't want to say it's better than what your Mom made you as a kid, but it is.
Sticky, sweet, salty and spicy ribs! These have a great flavor profile, but the magic is in the cooking technique. We're slicing the ribs BEFORE smoking them, which allows for more cooking surface which means more rub which means more flavor. Not to mention, the cooking process takes a fraction of the time.
We create an amazing stuffing for thick cut pork chops and cook it on a Himalayan Salt Plate on our Napoleon Grill. This grill is crazy versatile and allows us to cook anything we need right at the grill.
Homemade green chile Mac 'n cheese + 1/3 lb Angus burger + chipotle ketchup + more cheese + pretzel bun. This burger will change your life. There it is. I said it.

You know them, you love them, and they are king of the game day spread. With the big game nearly upon us, it’s time to plan the party food menu, and we’d highly recommend you kick up the wing game another notch with these chile infused, sweet barbecue chicken wings.
Spatchcock chicken and Mexican food, two of our favorite foods, come together in this recipe for a sweet and savory twist on quesadillas. And, as always, it can be done start to finish on the grill!
We may all be wrapping up football season, but that doesn’t mean we have to wrap up tailgate food! I love this recipe because a good deal of it can be done ahead of time and stored in the fridge until you’re ready to party! You may have seen something like this floating around the internet. There have been some fried versions out there that have gone a bit viral, but you know that we had to give it a BBQ twist! It’s the fire from a hot grill and the BBQ sauce glaze that set this one apart. If you’re a fan of The Sauce, we’ll bet you prefer the grilled version as well!
Chef Tom breaks down our method of preparing competition chicken thighs. This is the recipe we use in KCBS competitions and incorporates tips, techniques and methods we have learned from competition barbecue pitmasters like Andy Groneman of Smoke on Wheels Competition BBQ (Kansas City) and “BBQ Brian” Misko of House of Q (British Columbia, Canada).
